[Administrivia] Does TLUG send any email from Rogers IP addresses ?

[Walter Dnes]

  Reviewing my May logs, I see 3 entries similar to...

Mon May 31 19:11:44 2004 (tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org) -> (waltdnes-SLHPyeZ9y/tg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org) [69.199.78.60]Rejected email from dynamic IP. If yours was a legitimate email see http://www.waltdnes.org/bypass.html to bypass block.

  I checked the DNS on 69.199.78.60 backwards and forwards.  It is...
CPE0040f45b7dd5-CM000e5c708cae.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com and I do have
*.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com in my personal blocklist.  My spamblocks
refused 3357 email delivery attempts to my one email address in May.
I've had to go into heavy-handed-blocking mode to avoid being swamped in
spam.  A lot of people have 4.0.0.0/8 and 200.0.0.0/7 blocked.  Not as
many have 24.0.0.0/8 blocked.  But that was 956 of May's delivery
attempts that were blocked.

Email users are divided into two classes;
1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
2) Those who wish they did
